their campaign to increase pressure on the government to give in to their demands for more autonomy from mainland china. they. rush hour and one of the world's most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. activists have blocked the train doors. calling for democratic reforms an independence from beijing's rule the protesters hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kong's economy. the top of beating at times on this 8 hour homme i think my work and eating to wake. up freedom the safety and bill of rights and to get away and got caught with some ok with that but i think it's ok because i think the governments of the response to the mom of the citizens was the last thing he would authorize carol these are. the protests began over 8 weeks ago against

a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to mainland china for trial i the bill was shelved but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdrawal. they're also calling for hong kong leader kerry lead to step down and for greater autonomy i lawmakers in europe and the u.s. have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used excessive force the chinese government said that this was hypocritical i sat down to continue our what if you asked the u.s. police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the united states in washington d.c. and or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes i got to crete sent to. me for me. beijing has not addressed the. esther's demands for more democracy instead it insists on

a return to order in hong kong. some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch. impression of hong kong is simply fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong people really sentiment. the demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. for the story let's go straight over to hong kong where our correspondent fumi kong is standing by phebe why are the protesters now targeting the public transport system what's their strategy. both of them this is a kind of civil disobedience action to better question and they're trying to take.

a rather more. they take him on like he's no. that's a controversial way to. express their view actually this is not the 1st time to the national i and they always that they usually just do it during peak hour and internationals nations so this is not something that we could expect that maybe like happened more like in the coming future. over the weekend the police used rubber bullets and tear gas against demonstrators how are police dealing with this latest protest action at the train stations. we have to say oh oh. behavior of hong kong police today is always trying to

compare to what they behave way over the last week and today there there is no direct confrontation between police and protesters. police was not exploited right inside the metro station too hard to try to track the actions of the pows hest it is that they're just counting on the streets if they're just laying on the streets and hands up the national station trying to direct the crown to take other kinds of public transportation. ok phoebe thank you so much. there in hong kong. a new round of trade negotiations between the u.s. and china is getting underway in shanghai it's the 1st face to face discussions since talks collapsed in may washington and beijing have so far hit each other with punitive tariffs covering more than $360000000000.00 into a trade

a tense standoff centers on washington's demands for china to curb the alleged theft of american technology and provide a level playing field for u.s. companies. well our china expert in business correspondent clifford turn in joins us now for more clifford here we are back at the negotiating table i guess that's a good sign but what should we expect from these trade talks given that we haven't seen much progress in the past i think it is a good sign that they're sitting down to talk we've been waiting for the since may we've also learned to expect the unexpected at this point so we're very unlikely i think to actually get a formal deal but they will be looking for progress and certain issues they'll be looking for the terms to decide the terms on which they're going to talk and then to see how they're going to take things forward and we've got a massive trade war already underway between china and the united states hundreds of billions of dollars worth of trade at stake here who's winning this well this is

the big question i mean just in the last few hours while way which is the telecoms company which is kind of at the heart of the trade war in many ways because it's been blacklisted by the u.s. has reported a strong rise in earnings which shows that it's not hurting as much as people told miser. at the same time the u.s. which is long boasted that it's able to withstand the impact of having its exports to china restricted is all is is hurting in the heartland it's hurting in the farms so it's still showing that both sides are actually beginning to feel the pain and that it's not it's not as clear as it originally looked about who's going to be deed the loser in the end and it's going to be a problem for both sides to deal with clifford thank you so much our resident china expert clifford couldn't. we'll have more on the u.s. china trade talks coming up in d.w. business in about 20 minutes from now through. some of the other stories making

headlines around the world today u.s. financial services company capital one says the personal information of more than 100000000 people was stolen during a cyber attack the data included the names addresses and phone numbers of of credit card applicants in canada and the u.s. its announcement follows the arrest of a suspect on monday. brazilian authorities say at least 57 people have died during a prison riot in the north of the country officials said brutal fighting erupted between rival criminal groups at the isle to mirror a prison in pariah state and death toll may still rise. malaysia has formally installed a new king 60 year old sultan of job it is the country's 16th monarch is insulation come 6 months after the surprise abdication of his predecessor who stepped down after only 2 years relations kings are elected for 5 year terms.

a few hours from now germany's interior minister all say hope set to hold a crisis meeting to discuss the killing of an 8 year old boy on monday so ho for has interrupted his holiday to deal with the case the child was pushed in front of a train by a 40 year old man in prank station the suspect was detained by police after trying to flee the scene reports say is so 4 made no comment. it was here at frankfurt central station that the 8 year old boy and his mother were pushed from the platform the mother was able to scramble to safety but his son was struck by an approaching high speed train that ciccu the main suspect a 40 year old man fled the scene a similar some eyewitnesses are part of this to us discommode and the able to track him down with the help of civilians and he was detained near the station not i just hope on the office found. earlier this month

a similar incident took place in the state of north rhine-westphalia there the 34 year old woman died after she was pushed in front of an oncoming train. police say that the man didn't know the woman all the child in monday's incident. this motif mostly committed approaches a motive doesn't have to be related to the victims they can simply be random victims and it has more to do with the offender their personality and their mood in the moment that's why when someone has murderous intent and wants to carry out a violent act and do something horrible then that can be motive enough. and with the side that still remains unclear what to grow the suspect to push the boy and his mother on to the rail tracks german interior minister horse is ending his some a vacation early to make a statement on tuesday meanwhile the interior minister has expressed his sympathy duns and gentlemen's play in which i find that at the moment our thoughts. there

with the mother the son and the family. isn't in. we are very grateful for the courageous citizens. to see cuz of their brave intervention we were able to capture and arrest the alleged perpetrator. want to move. the mother is currently receiving medical treatment and hospital police appealing to possible eye witnesses for more information. or for the very latest we're joined here in the studio by our political correspondent max millionaire cautious. to have any more details emerged about exactly what happened at that frankfurt train station we know so far by the statements of the police thora taste and witness reports is that the man pushed the mother and the 8 year old boy onto the train tracks while the train was incoming into the station and the boy died of the fatal injuries the mother was able to say

for self by rolling off the train tracks the man then trying to person other person on to the tracks but that post was able to say fits himself and now of the person the suspect has been detained has not been talking to the police authorities so far there's no known relation between the victim and the suspect and a 1st courts age for the suspect has been set today as far as we know by local prosecutors and great deal of media attention has been given to this story in shura many what's driving the the emotionality of that case this is a very tragic scene that happened at big german train station in the middle of the holiday my people were going on vacation and in the middle of that this tragic scene happened the child dies the mother surprised this has been a quite a shock for the german public and another thing is of course this is something that has to do with how we have to look at german pows. it's

a free sentience is this one particular part of that case which has caused quite a controversial teen social media which is the nationality of the suspect only one report about this is something that is not related to the case but it was then made public that the suspect is of eritrean national interest for a nationality and this has sparked a phobic comments on social media and this has also been part of the sort of jim in debates now because we've seen a high sensibility of folks in a phobia about foreign news here in germany since the height of the german refugee crisis in 2015 so this comes against the backdrop of the entire debate that's gone on now for quite a few years about migration germany's interior minister is the host or he has broken off his holiday because of this case he's planning to make a statement about it later on today what do you make of that well public security

is at the forefront of the responsibilities of the interior minister will say he will face so of course a case like this is something especially with the interest of the german public where he is off to react and now there has been also a debate with this case about the security of german public train stations we've seen a similar case a couple weeks ago and all friends fade away also a man pushed a woman in front of an oncoming train and now there's the question can we prevent these kind of random but very violent attacks and this is something that the german public is debating now and where this question if we're going to see a response to this issue from the german government that's really on it thank you very much political correspondent that's 1000000 dollar question. the united nations is using this day to draw attention to human trafficking it's a worldwide problem more than 40000000 people are thought to be trapped in some form of slavery the number of countries involved is on the increase the victims are

mainly women and children and the men also endure forced labor in terrible conditions. a steady job with a good salary and a lucrative bonus that's the promise that tempts many indonesian men to leave their high end and help to see but what they get is this is about on the do you fit it surely spy the indonesian seafarers movement say screen members sleeping on the floor in the cargo hold looking malnourished and exhausted one of them is run by tula. he says he was tricked by an indonesian recruiting agency traffic to somalia and forced to spend 9 months aboard a chinese fishing boat manning the nets and packing fish for 18 hours a day. some . bonding when we didn't catch enough fish or squid we will be eaten by the

captain. diverting people who will be eaten a lot i'm still traumatized by it going without but i was. on board the creek claim they were given a choice between going hungry and eating spoiled fish and they didn't even have clean water. in the layout. on the rare occasion we were given fish we could tell by the smell that the fish was already bad after smelling it we couldn't eat it in a daily basis all we got was cabbage and rice with a little salt. and we drank pronunciation of water that we collected from the air conditioner done what i would. from a tool and just cremates are now back home in and they've taken photos and videos to document their experience experts say the fishing industry is riddled with

forced labor and it predominantly targets poor workers from southeast asia. once on board there's no way out for the men and they often mercilessly exploited. children and as cremates say they're owed thousands of dollars in unpaid wages. we're going to go what i will try our way for my family so they could be proud of me when i returned home but the reality was different when arkham asylum are coming when i asked the recruitment company for our rights they said you're a stupid idiot we just wanted to ask for a ride. after working for 7 months of a crummy. numerous n.g.o.s both local and international have run the alarm about the slave like conditions that seem to be commonplace on fishing vessels across the globe but it hasn't stopped men like these from falling into the hands of traffic has. been uneasy as the ministry of manpower is among other things tasked with the protection of its workers that brought the department head acknowledges the problem

but says it's difficult to monitor labor conditions at sea. we need to study 1st whether the information about the abused seafarers is true or not. we must rely on data and facts so we can enforce sanctions lawfully in that country spending. but as around a tool and his form of cremates no downtrend facts difficult to attain when you're at sea with no one watching as he got in the local government the us president donald trump caused yet another controversy of the weekend by calling the city of baltimore a rotten rodent infested mess critics say the president's remarks were directed at a black politician from the city elijah cummings who had slammed the federal government's treatment of lie grants some have described trump's comments as racist . oversell it has been to baltimore on the east coast of the u.s.

to assess the situation and hear what citizens are saying about their hometown. the city of baltimore faces many problems and one has been there for many years west baltimore which is prone to crime and violence and with the streets are indicate. one of the last homicides happened just here a few days ago with more than 300 people murdered last year there's no doubt that baltimore is one of the most violent cities in north america but does this make it a rat and rodent infested mess president trump says a series of inflammatory tweets from the white house is baltimore sleep problem president trump calling the city of very dangerous and filthy place worst in the us a and says no human being would want to live there president trump statements are

wrong. represent a political attack and a lack of understanding regarding the dynamics of baltimore the dynamics of crime a city with a black population of more than 60 percent some feel insulted by the president's rhetoric but others say there's some truth to what he says he's right about some part as well like others like if you haven't been here you can't really say anything about it especially if you're not helping the city he's right about what do you then it may be in a way that it but that he says that i get is i think of people who are insulted are absolutely justified in being insulted because he has no idea what he's talking about but that's the case of everything what does it mean with his attack president trump is taking on some of his most vocal critics congressman elijah cummings who represents parts of baltimore in congress they are human beings. city councilman leon pink katz says trump's attacks on baltimore are above all

political gamesmanship a congressman cummings has been doing an exceptional job as he chairs the oversight committee in congress and. the reality is he is and as a result of his work and he's shedding light on a lot of issues that are directly responded to the president is directly responsible for when we talk about a border policy when we talk about the the the treatment of immigrants a good reason for the president to take on cummings and his congressional district even if that doesn't improve the situation in west baltimore. brazil's president. has signed a bill making it easier for citizens to buy guns a hardline right winger won the presidency promising to stamp out criminal gangs but critics say relaxing gun laws will not solve the problem and could lead to even

more violence it's. what is the right way to kill a man that's what navy had learning today she's holding a gun in her hand for the 1st time but after she's finished with this one day cause she plans to buy her own revolver i'm afraid of violence when my husband's away on trips i'm left on alone with my daughter i mean. then things get serious for the 1st time the students are allowed to shoot the constant selves. that wasn't easy is my only i'm going to learn to aim better. a little exercise helps raise the students heart rates. has also decided to buy a pistol now the weapons law has been eased. that was pure adrenaline it's a great sport to. never have to use this go. this is also. nearby is a gas station where i'm a witness to robbery and a murder
